What does the dual mass flywheel do in a car?
What does the dual mass flywheel do? The dual mass flywheel is yet one more car part that has gone through the inevitable”evolution” process. The tendency of the auto industry to build evermore powerful engines leads to the problem of transferring that power from the engine to the transmission.
What should I do if my flywheel is unbalanced?
If a flywheel is unbalanced, it may vibrate the whole powertrain even while the clutch is engaged. If you recently replaced the clutch, flywheel, or pressure plate, make sure you torqued all bolts to spec and applied thread locker if it was called for in the factory service manual.
How many km can a flywheel be replaced?
To clarify: the old-type flywheel was almost never changed for the whole history of the car. Second, you’re looking at a replacement range as low as 100,000 km to 200,000 km if you’re lucky. This mostly depends on your driving. Second, there’s the price tag.
How does a flywheel keep the engine running?
Flywheels are heavy, balanced metal disks that store rotational energy. Since heavy spinning objects have high inertia (that is, resistance to change in velocity), flywheels keep your engine running smoothly even when torque delivery is inconsistent or changes quickly, such as when you’re shifting gears.
What are the symptoms of a bad flywheel?
Bad Flywheel Symptoms 1 Slipping Gears. If you shift to a new gear and then notice that the engine speed (RPM) increases much faster than your ground speed, this is called gear slippage. 2 Cannot Change Gears. Sometimes you will have the opposite problem with your gears. 3 Burning Odor.

Can You interchange flywheels with a Chevy V8?
These do not generally interchange with Chevy V8 flywheels and flexplates due to the unique balance of the V6. In 1986 a crankshaft and flywheel change was made to the improved, once-piece seal design. 1986 and newer Chevy engines will not accept older flywheels due to the different crank flange and bolt pattern.
